Water Softener and Filtration

Virginia Beach water has a water hardness of 58ppm, making local water slightly hard. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water. 

Types of water softeners

• Salt-based water softeners

• Salt-free water softeners

• Dual-tank water softeners

• Magnetic water softeners

• Reverse osmosis water softeners

• Shower head water softeners

While safe to drink, Virginia Beach water can contain trace amounts of arsenic, chromium, halo acetic acids, and other harmful compounds. A water filtration system helps ensure the best possible water quality for your home or business. 

Types of filtration systems

• Activated carbon

• Ion exchange

• Reverse osmosis

• Mechanical

• Ultraviolet
